Newcastle United Jets Football Club, commonly known as Newcastle Jets, is an Australian professional soccer club based in Newcastle, New South Wales. It competes in the country's premier competition, the A-League, under licence from the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) (formerly under licence from Football Australia).[1] The club was formed in 2000 when it joined the National Soccer League (NSL) and was one of only three former NSL clubs to join in the formation of the A-League.
Newcastle Jets have won one A-League championship, after defeating rivals Central Coast Mariners 1–0 in the 2008 A-League Grand Final.[2] In 2009, Newcastle competed in the AFC Champions League for the first time, reaching the Round of 16. In May 2015, FFA revoked Newcastle's licence after owner Nathan Tinkler placed the club into voluntary administration.[3][4] A new A-League club was formed for the 2015–16 season, under the same name and colours.[5]
The club plays home games at McDonald Jones Stadium. An affiliated youth team competes in the A-League Youth and in the National Premier Leagues NSW competition. A women's team competes in the A-League Women. The youth team's matches are played at No. 2 Sportsground and Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility. The Women's team play at McDonald Jones Stadium and No. 2 Sportsground.
